Adam Scott's Bizjet

[Tim Bowrey]

In the paper the other day it said Adam Scott(the golfer) bought a $75m aircraft. I was wondering what type or aircraft and/or rego it was? Could anyone help me out?

Cheers

Forgive me, Its a Gulfstream G450 reccomended by Greg Norman. A rego would still be good if anyone knows.

Saw it here.

Why did you pick the G450?

Gulfstream was kind of recommended to me by Greg Norman, who’s been a Gulfstream guy since the early ’90s, I believe. Ernie Els is a Gulfstream guy, too. And they really didn’t have anything bad to say about the aircraft. After the research we did, traveling around to see the different manufacturers, certainly in my mind Gulfstream was the best option. And the 450 has such good range. It will handle the [long-haul] trips I’m going to do. I’ll be taking it everywhere.
